Multiple buttons in iOS Navigation Bar via Interface Builder?

Question

I understand that iOS 5 added the capability of setting multiple right and left buttons, but can this be done through Interface Builder? Whenever I attempt to drag a bar button item to the navigation bar it only allows one on the right and one on the left.

Update: Xcode 7 add multi buttons support.

Just drag bar button items to navigation bar, you may need add a navigation item first if the view controller don't have one.

You can drag a UIView to the navigation bar, then add two UIButton to that view.

Cannot add two UIBarButtonItem througn interface builder directly. But you can make it through code. Like [UINavigationItem setRightBarButtonItems:animated:].

your explanation "you may need add a navigation item first if the view controller don't have one." saved my day. – bittu Jul 23 '18 at 06:55
